Case Study

Transport Management System is a software application designed to manage and optimize inbound or outbound transportation operations. Consequently there is greater emphasis on cost, knowledge management and culture. Transport Management System can shift transaction processing to the end users who actually use the materials or goods, freeing up supply management personnel for strategic value-creation work through effective deployment of Transport technology.
